I'm a very outgoing guy when it comes to music and I like all kinds of sounds of music and genres of music.

I'm not a hater, I'm not one of those people. I do think it's dope when people get recognized for whatever it is that they do, so more power to everybody who got nominated.

I'm thankful for the position that I'm in, I'm thankful to go to the ceremony [of Grammys] the first time, thankful for everything. I'm just taking it step by step.

I'm not like, overly anxious or nothing like that, because sometimes when you're overly anxious it kind of brings a weird energy around and I just like to just take things one day at a time.

I'm thankful to God that my life changed, but I'm also still on my grind.

I can look at you and say, 'I'm gonna be the biggest artist in the world' because, at the end of the day, it's about the trust I have in God. He's already shown me that I'm gonna fulfil my destiny.

I was being very bad because I didn't know how to express myself. Music gave me an outlet to express myself and channel that anger.

I never grew up on Jodeci. I never grew up on things like that 'cause my dad was a preacher, and he kind of kept us away from music like that.

It’s a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you’re hurt.

The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.

The way I grew up, when you're married, you have to stay married together.

Most of my teachers probably found I made less trouble if they let me read.

If all your clothes are worn to the same state, it means you go out too much.

The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity at the Treasury.

One of the most important leadership lessons is realizing you're not the most important or the most intelligent person in the room at all times.

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance.

If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me.
